You bring up a good point. The characters are in different stages in their lives. Even the two younger woemn, Amanda and Melody, are at different stages. Amanda is very young yet she already is married with two children, whereas Melody is a free spirit.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑21 Feb 2018, 17:02 Now that you ask, I think the author meant for the readers (women especially) to find themselves in all the five girls. They are in different stages in their lives. They have all experienced loss. They all emerge from the storm as different from before.
Regarding Melody, not that I have any tats or body piercings, but I too sometimes need to get away to find myself. I'm still looking, lol.

In retrospection, I too feel i have gone through the conflicts of most of these characters in my life. Although as a mother of too, my immediate identification is with Amanda.I guess we are on the same boat then!!Miriam Molina wrote: ↑16 Feb 2018, 23:41 I think I am a mix of all the women. I suffered Sophie's broken heart. Like Rose, I used to have a home where my friends could stay with or without notice. I also enjoyed some time as a successful career woman like Veronica. I now experience Amanda's harried-head-of-the-household worries. I'll let you guess how I relate to Melody, LOL!
In hindsight, I think the writer has chosen women from different age groups, each representing a certain timeline of all individuals life, so that we may all identify ourselves in these women.

I wonder if the author created characters from different age groups to showcase women at different phases of their life, or if it was to show that women can become close friends with people from a different generation.Jeyasivananth wrote: ↑25 Feb 2018, 11:20In retrospection, I too feel i have gone through the conflicts of most of these characters in my life.

I think it was a smart move on the part of the author because this book can offer something to women at virtually all stages of life.
